  Other than the pirate stations around London, they're not quite as proliferate as they once were with the advent of the internet. They have a colourful history in the UK however, with some stations broadcasting from international waters in the 60's just off the UK to circumvent the monopoly the BBC and record companies had on music. I highly recommend watching 'The Boat That Rocked' for a good comedy based on it. Below are some interesting reads on the culture: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate_radio_in_the_United_Kingdom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate_radio_in_the_United_Kin... https://www.transdiffusion.org/2008/08/01/on_the_run_the https://www.transdiffusion.org/2008/08/01/on_the_run_the http://www.thepiratearchive.net/ http://www.thepiratearchive.net/ https://web.archive.org/web/20090324075718/http://www.freewebs.com/g1hbe/andromeda.htm https://web.archive.org/web/20090324075718/http://www.freewe...

    In the US it was released as "Pirate radio". A great movie under either title but my american friends didnt get the dunkirk reference in the final act.
